Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
2 cups half-and-half
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups grits, such as Quaker Old Fashioned
6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely chopped
One 16-ounce package frozen collard greens, thawed
1 3/4 cups grated Parmesan (6 ounces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the half-and-half and 6 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once up to a boil, stir in the grits. Bring it back up to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has slightly thickened (it should resemble cooked oatmeal in thickness), 10 to 15 minutes. Use a whisk to break up any lumps that have formed.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until just turning crispy, about 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel, patting it to remove any excess fat. Using the same saucepan, add the onions to the leftover bacon drippings and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the collard greens and the remaining 2 cups chicken stock and cook until tender, another 10 minutes. Drain the collards and onions in a colander.
  • Once the grits are done, add the Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the Monterey jack. Stir until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are well combined. Then add the drained collards mixture and stir.
  • Transfer the grits mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the crumbled bacon and the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

GARLIC GRITS CASSEROLE



Garlic Grits Casserole image

I think people who say they hate grits just haven't had them prepared correctly. Basic grits are pretty simple, and you can add what you like to make them tastier. My sister experimented with this flavorful herb and garlic cheese version for a yummy twist on an old southern favorite.

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup grits
4 1/2 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
10 ounces herb and garlic cheese, such as Boursin
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
1 cup crushed cornflakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 12 × 2-inch casserole dish.
  • Cook the grits in the boiling water with the salt until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic cheese and butter to the hot grits and stir until melted and incorporated. Beat the eggs and add the milk to the beaten eggs. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the grits. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Pour the melted butter over the cornflakes and stir to distribute the butter. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top of the grits. Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Even non-grits-lovers should try this recipe from my mother-in-law, Blanche Bernard.
